Here’s another way of looking at the results of the 2014 Danville City Commission election. The following table presents the percentage of voters who selected one candidate for mayor/city commission who also voted for another commission candidate.

To interpret: find the name going across and then another name going down. The number indicates the percentage of people ACROSS who also voted for the person going DOWN. So for example, 64.1% of Terry voters also voted for Caudill. Another example: 51.9% of those who voted for Perros for mayor also voted for Terry for commissioner.
